Jump starting using another battery
If the start battery is discharged, current from
another battery can be used to start the vehicle. Jumper cable connecting points.
CAUTION
The charging point of the vehicle is only
intended for jump starting the vehicle in ques-
tion. The charging point is not intended for
jump-starting another vehicle. Using the
charging point to start another vehicle could
cause a fuse to blow, which would cause the
charging point to stop working.
If a fuse has blown, 12 V Battery Fuse failure
Service required will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel. Volvo recommends contacting an
authorized Volvo workshop. To avoid short circuits or other damage, the fol-
lowing steps are recommended when jump star-
ting the battery:
1.
Put the ignition in mode 0.
2.
Make sure the auxiliary battery (the battery
used to jump start the discharged battery)
has a voltage of 12 volts.
3. If the auxiliary battery is in another vehicle, turn off that vehicle's engine and make sure
that the vehicles are not touching each other.
4. Clamp the red jumper cable onto the auxiliary battery's positive (+) terminal (1).
CAUTION Connect the jump cable carefully to prevent
short circuits with other components in the
engine compartment.
5. Fold back the cover over your vehicle's posi-
tive (+) jump start terminal (2).
6.

Clamp the other end of the red jumper cable
to your vehicle's positive (+) jump start termi-
nal (2).
7. Clamp the black jumper cable onto the auxili- ary battery's negative (-) terminal (3).
8. Clamp the other end of the black jumper cable to your vehicle's negative (-) ground
point (4). 9. Make sure the jumper cables are securely
attached to help prevent sparks while jump
starting.
10. Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run for a few minutes at a higher idling
speed than normal, about 1500 rpm.
11. Start your vehicle's engine. If the engine does not start, allow an additional 10
minutes of charging time and then try to start
the engine again.
NOTE When the engine is started under normal
conditions, the vehicle's electrical drive motor
is prioritized – the gasoline engine remains
off. This means that the electric motor has
"started" and the vehicle is ready to be driven
once the start knob has been turned clock-
wise. Start of the electric motor is indicated
by the indicator lights on the instrument panel
going out and its preselected theme illuminat-
ing.
CAUTION
Do not touch the connections between the
cable and the vehicle during the start attempt.
Risk of sparking.

Driving with a trailer (p. 483)
Towing capacity and tongue weight (p. 670) Driving with a trailer
There are a number of things to consider when
towing a trailer, such as the towbar, the trailer
and how the load is distributed in the trailer.
Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories, e.g. towbar,
reduces the vehicle's load-carrying capacity by
the corresponding amount.
Towbars used on the vehicle must be
approved for the applicable use.
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the
weight on the towbar complies with the
specified maximum towball weight. The
tongue weight is calculated as part of the
vehicle's payload.
Increase the tire pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load.
The engine is subjected to more load than
usual when towing a trailer.
Towing a trailer affects the vehicle's han-
dling, durability and driving economy.
Do not drive with a heavy trailer when the
vehicle is very new. Wait until the mileage
has reached at least 1000 km (620 miles).
On long and steep downgrades, the vehicle's
brakes are subjected to much more load
than usual. When manually shifting, down-
shift and adapt speed accordingly.

(p. 479) Trailer Stability Assist*
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA 8
) is a function
designed to help stabilize a vehicle that is tow-
ing a trailer when the vehicle and trailer have
begun to sway. The function is part of the Elec-
tronic Stability Control system ESC 9
.
Reasons for swayingA vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for
various reasons. Normally this only occurs at high
speeds. However, if the trailer is overloaded or
unevenly distributed, e.g. too far back, there is a
risk of swaying even at low speeds.
Swaying may be caused by factors such as:
The vehicle and trailer are hit by a sudden,
strong crosswind.
The vehicle and trailer are traveling on an
uneven road or over a bump.
Sudden movements of the steering wheel.
Once swaying has begun, it can be difficult or
impossible to stop it. This makes the vehicle and
trailer difficult to control and there is a risk of
swerving into oncoming traffic or driving off the
road.
Trailer Stability Assist functionTrailer Stability Assist continuously monitors the
vehicle's movements, particularly lateral move- ments. If swaying is detected, the brakes are
applied individually on the front wheels, which has
a stabilizing effect on the vehicle and trailer. This
is often enough to enable the driver to regain
control of the vehicle.
If the Trailer Stability Assist function's first
attempt is not adequate to stop the swaying
motion, the brakes are applied on all wheels and
engine power is temporarily reduced. As the
swaying motion begins to decrease and the vehi-
cle and trailer have once again become stable,
TSA stops regulating the brakes/engine power
and the driver regains control of the vehicle.
NOTE
Trailer Stability Assist is deactivated if the
driver selects the sport mode by deactivating
ESC in the center display's menu system. Trailer Stability Assist may not intervene if the
driver tries to compensate for the swaying motion
by moving the steering wheel rapidly, because
the system will then not be able to determine if it
is the trailer or the driver causing the swaying.

NOTE If the vehicle is equipped with a towbar, there
is no rear attachment for the towing eye.
Attaching the towing eyelet
Take out the towing eyelet, which is stored in
a foam block under the floor in the cargo
compartment. Remove the cover - press the marker with
your finger while prying open the opposite
side/corner open with a coin or similar.
>

The cover turns along its center line and
can then be removed. 3. Screw in the towing eyelet until it reaches its
stop. Fasten the eyelet securing by, for example,
inserting a lug wrench* through it and using
this as a lever.
CAUTION It is important that the towing eye is screwed
in securely as far as possible.
Removing the towing eyelet
–
Unscrew the towing eyelet after use and
return it to its storage location in the foam
block.

Factors affecting the Internet connection.
The amount of data transmitted depends on the
services or apps currently in use in the vehicle.
Streaming music, for example, involves the trans-
mission of a large amount of data, and this
requires a good connection and a strong signal.
Phone to vehicleInternet connection speed may vary depending
on the location of the cellular phone in the vehi-
cle. Move the phone closer to the center display
to increase signal strength. Make sure that noth-
ing is between the phone and center display that
could be blocking the signal.
Phone to network operatorThe speed of the mobile network varies depend-
ing on the coverage in the vehicle's current loca-
tion. Coverage may be poorer in e.g. tunnels,
mountainous areas, deep valleys or indoors. Con-
nection speed is also dependent on the subscrip-
tion you have with your service provider.
NOTE If you experience any problems with data traf-
fic, contact your network service provider.
